jDefense

jDefense is an open source java implementation of a tower defense game and is fully customizable using config files and images for skins.

We have started putting together a zip version with an EXE instead of the Jar to allow for easier end use. The EXE is assembled using jSmooth, and will help the user find the necessary JRE if they do not have one. The next task is to integrate the default skins and maps into the EXE along with the config file to allow the user to download a single EXE file.

Bug fixes new features, and has a few game balance changes. Very stable.
